(7,670 posts)non-political reasons than by any Al-Queda cell that wishes us harm. Yet I don't see us bombing known meth labs, organized crime syndicates, or crack houses.
Once we treat criminal actions as war, we might as well just wave a white flag, for we already lost. Sure we kill a few known terrorists, break up a plot or two, and still there are ALWAYS more terrorists to bomb, more plots to break up. Up until we decide commit genocide in "troubled areas" this will always be true, using the tactics we are deploying today. Its low level now, but its only a matter of time before we escalate it to another level, and what then, chemical weapons, firebombing, nuclear?
We have been going at this for a fucking decade with no fucking end in sight, and frankly I'm sick of the apologists for this bullshit that is the so called "war on terror", might as well call it the "war on tactics we don't like" for all the sense it makes.
